t. e. Motion, the process of movement, is described using specific anatomical terms. Motion includes movement of organs, joints, limbs, and specific sections of the body. The terminology used describes this motion according to its direction relative to the anatomical position of the body parts involved. Anatomists and others use a unified set ...

Anatomical terms of muscle. [ edit on Wikidata] The extensor digitorum muscle (also known as extensor digitorum communis) [ 2 ] is a muscle of the posterior forearm present in humans and other animals. It extends the medial four digits of the hand. Extensor digitorum is innervated by the posterior interosseous nerve, which is a branch of the ...
FDP is shown in blue. The flexor digitorum profundus or flexor digitorum communis profundus[1] is a muscle in the forearm of humans that flexes the fingers (also known as digits). It is considered an extrinsic hand muscle because it acts on the hand while its muscle belly is located in the forearm. Together the flexor pollicis longus, pronator ...
The plantaris is one of the superficial muscles of the superficial posterior compartment of the leg, one of the fascial compartments of the leg. It is composed of a thin muscle belly and a long thin tendon. While not as thick as the achilles tendon, the plantaris tendon (which tends to be between 30–45 centimetres (12–18 in) in length) is ...
Skeletal muscle. Skeletal muscle, or "voluntary muscle", is a striated muscle tissue that primarily joins to bone with tendons. Skeletal muscle enables movement of bones, and maintains posture. [ 1 ] The widest part of a muscle that pulls on the tendons is known as the belly.
Anatomical terms of muscle. [ edit on Wikidata] The lumbricals are intrinsic muscles of the hand that flex the metacarpophalangeal joints, [ 1 ] and extend the interphalangeal joints. [ 1 ][ 2 ] The lumbrical muscles of the foot also have a similar action, though they are of less clinical concern.
The flexor carpi radialis is one of four muscles in the superficial layer of the anterior compartment of the forearm. This muscle originates from the medial epicondyle of the humerus as part of the common flexor tendon. It runs just laterally of flexor digitorum superficialis and inserts on the anterior aspect of the base of the second ...
